Stages, A Children’s Theatre Workshop, Inc. is throwing the Halloween Bash you and your children won’t want to miss! The main event is Frankenstein Follies, a Halloween-themed musical review directed and choreographed by Helene Leonard. Frankenstein Follies features all your favorite monsters and ghouls with a cast of forty-five local young performers.

There will be Halloween fun for young and old, including face painting, a "tattoo" parlor, a crazy fortune teller and a terrifyingly tasty treat bar for the scary sweet tooth in us all. Now returning for its sixteenth year, Frankenstein Follies has become a favorite on the East End.

We’ve added a show! Join the fun at the Bay Street Theatre in Sag Harbor on Friday, October 22nd at 7:30 p.m., Saturday, October 23rd at 2:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., and Sunday, October 24th at 2:00 p.m. Tickets are $15, which include the show and the fun carnival bash immediately following the show. Proceeds help support Stages’ scholarship program. Seating is limited, so call now to buy your ticket for this popular event.

Joseph D’Agnese, authorwill be signing his new children's book,Blockhead: The Life of FibonacciatBooks of Wonderthe legendary children's bookstore onSaturday, October 23, from 12 to 2 p.m.

Joining him is the illustrator of the book, John O'Brien. John is a longtime illustrator and cartoonist for the New Yorker. The two have never met, and this will be their first timetalking about the book and signing copies.

Blockhead is a children's picture book about the famous, real-life mathematician who discovered the Fibonacci Sequence, the number pattern which governs how so many objects in nature grow and flourish. The book is set in Italy and the world of the Mediterranean during the Middle Ages.

While the range is approximately grades 2 to 6, older kids can use it in a service learning project with younger students. Teachers and librarians like it because it's a perfect jumping-off point for teaching number patterns. If you are a teacher, I can direct you to some easy lesson plans as well.

The most exciting news? Just this past weekend we were reviewed in the New York Times Book Review!

If you have kids or grandkids, this event might be a fun thing to do for a Saturday. The bookstore is amazing, and right next store is the Cupcake Cafe. So bring the kids, or pass this on to someone else who has kids. And yes, if you have a book you bought at another store and want them to sign, yes, the author/illustrator can sign it for you, just off Books of Wonder's premises.
